00:00:01,640 --> 00:00:10,220
‫Here is another lesson with an example, eyeholes question and audio again with a focus on the strategies

2
00:00:10,220 --> 00:00:12,830
‫used to answer the questions.

3
00:00:13,610 --> 00:00:20,750
‫Before we take a look at our question in this lesson, here is a quick strategy tip for you.

4
00:00:21,500 --> 00:00:28,860
‫Whilst listening to the Eilts audio playback, you can make as many notes as you like on your ALT'S

5
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,520
‫listening question sheet.

6
00:00:31,550 --> 00:00:39,710
‫It may be that you're unable to answer all questions, but your notes may help you find the correct

7
00:00:39,710 --> 00:00:40,310
‫answer.

8
00:00:41,130 --> 00:00:50,180
‫Now, not all students find taking note a useful strategy as people can often lose focus on the audio.

9
00:00:50,420 --> 00:00:57,070
‫But it's definitely something that you could try to help you answer questions in the listening test.

10
00:00:57,770 --> 00:01:00,620
‫Let's move on to our question in this lesson.

11
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:09,190
‫So, as before, it's very important that we look over the information and questions given to us before

12
00:01:09,190 --> 00:01:10,960
‫the audio is played.

13
00:01:11,380 --> 00:01:13,860
‫So let's take a look at our question.

14
00:01:14,470 --> 00:01:20,990
‫Questions one to four right now, more than three words or numbers.

15
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:29,590
‫So in this question, example and answer of one, two or three words is fine, but four are more and

16
00:01:29,590 --> 00:01:31,380
‫will score zero marks.

17
00:01:32,020 --> 00:01:36,940
‫So let's take a look through the questions and highlight some key words.

18
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:43,290
‫Anthony Burgess is one of the most influential writers of the century.

19
00:01:44,050 --> 00:01:51,580
‫Now, by reading this, I can see that there is going to be a century given in the audio extract.

20
00:01:52,210 --> 00:01:57,070
‫I'm going to circle century question number two.

21
00:01:57,550 --> 00:02:02,620
‫He was born in on the 25th of February, 1917.

22
00:02:03,190 --> 00:02:11,110
‫Now, for this, I could circle the date or simply I could circle born because I know that there is

23
00:02:11,110 --> 00:02:15,160
‫going to be the name of a place coming up in the audio.

24
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:21,550
‫So I'll just circle born and ah, listen carefully for the name of a city or a town.

25
00:02:22,780 --> 00:02:31,450
‫Question three, his childhood, an earlier years, were described as losing most of his close family

26
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:32,890
‫here.

27
00:02:32,890 --> 00:02:42,060
‫I'll circle earlier years, which will help me focus on information given about Anthony Burgess's childhood.

28
00:02:43,250 --> 00:02:49,180
‫Number four, Anthony's most famous book was published in 1962.

29
00:02:50,170 --> 00:02:55,810
‫Now I'm assuming that the missing words here are the name of his famous book.

30
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:03,160
‫So I'm going to circle famous book and listen very carefully for the name of this book.

31
00:03:04,310 --> 00:03:11,060
‫So through reading these questions, I'm assuming that the audio is going to be a short description

32
00:03:11,060 --> 00:03:16,010
‫of this person's life, a famous writer called Anthony Burgess.

33
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:22,860
‫Let's hear the audio now and see if you can answer these questions to.

34
00:03:28,180 --> 00:03:35,020
‫Anthony Burgess is considered one of the greatest British writers of the 20th century.

35
00:03:35,740 --> 00:03:44,560
‫He was born in the English city of Manchester on February the 25th, 1917, to Catholic parents.

36
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:51,520
‫Anthony described his family as a reasonably affluent and his parents were shopkeepers.

37
00:03:52,210 --> 00:03:54,550
‫As a youngster, he was often alone.

38
00:03:54,550 --> 00:03:58,760
‫And sadly, both his parents and sister died at a young age.

39
00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:07,030
‫He rose to prominence as a sergeant during World War Two, which many believe influenced his later writing.

40
00:04:07,810 --> 00:04:15,100
‫His most famous novel, A Clockwork Orange, depicting a dystopian future of aggressive youths, was

41
00:04:15,100 --> 00:04:19,270
‫published in 1962 to much acclaim.

42
00:04:24,020 --> 00:04:28,670
‫So let's take a look at our answers for this audio segment.

43
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:41,640
‫No one is 20th century number two is Manchester, number three is alone, and number four is A Clockwork

44
00:04:41,670 --> 00:04:42,420
‫Orange.

45
00:04:43,730 --> 00:04:49,310
‫Here is the audio script with highlighted location of the answers given.

46
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,280
‫If you would like to have a read through the script, then, of course, please do pause the video and

47
00:04:56,280 --> 00:05:00,960
‫you can also go back through the audio reading earlier in this lesson.

48
00:05:01,500 --> 00:05:09,420
‫The most important thing to remember is to read the information and questions given to you before the

49
00:05:09,420 --> 00:05:11,010
‫audio is played.

50
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:18,890
‫By doing so, you'll be a lot more prepared to answer the questions given.
